Turning off ALL notification beeps.

[RustyDogg]

Definitely need to have the option to turn off ALL the beeps. When the car is to be in motion.
I've now been in several modern hybrid and evs. The most annoying thing is, when a beep starts to sound, and you have no idea what it is because you've got the same beep for 50 different things that could be going on, especially with the perimeter cameras. I think you are too close to things. Ie. I am in my garage. I don't need the vehicle beeping at me. Because I'm 2 feet away from something. I'm in my garage, of course I'm close to something.
When it does come to the alert notifications, especially for safety I should be able to change the tone and sound. So I know that I have something in my blind spot on my left versus I have something in my blind spot on my right, versus a front end collision warning and different from somebody in the back seat, taking their seat belt off. Or somebody in the front seat, lifting their butt off of the chair to reposition.

I'm on my first vehicle with parking sensors, and yes, it does freak out and beep every, single, time I pull into or out of the garage (unless I manually silence the beeps, which turns them off for the whole power cycle of the vehicle).

Location dependent proximity sensor settings would be great.

I'm ok with knowing I'm 1-2ft from something out in the wild. But in my garage I'd be ok with knowing I'm 1-6in from things.

Great application for geofencing!

While I would like this as well, it is probably illegal to do this. In my car most of the warning signals can be disabled, but not all of them. My guess is that some of the warning sounds are federally mandated - the automakers can't allow you to disable any of the warning signals the government has demanded they have. Welcome to the new nanny state.

In 1984 a national news caster was talking about the arrival of that year. He said we didn’t have Big Brother, but Mother Hen. I think it was Roger Mudd.

Interesting, I've never thought about them in my current car (10 years old). The front sensors don't beep at me in the garage, but they do in parking lots for curbs and such. I'm guessing the front system doesn't turn on until I get above a certain speed. Makes sense to me since I doubt I'll be turning the car on often just to inch it forward.
